Gending Java that sounded beautiful as if implying the heart of Dita at that time. Accompanying every missed second, banishing silence. Dita was still at home on the window sill of her room, looking at the moon from there.
Suddenly, the smell of lebus came from where Dita was standing. He immediately looked for the source of the smell without the slightest fear.
"Didn't this smell often smell when I was about to do the first night? Did the creature come again?"
"Will he come here for what? I just grieved," said Dita in confusion.
Not long after, a black shadow shot out on the side of the gazebo. Faintly Dita could see that. As fast as lightning, the black shadow disappeared from Dita's sight, then looked back as if peering at Dita from between the lush trees.
Dita's view continued to follow the movement of the shadow. Moreover, the sound of twigs and leaves that are scattered makes a rustling sound.
"What's he here for?" muttered Dita while looking at her.
Suddenly the smell of jasmine as fragrant filled the room Dita, replacing the smell of lebus that had previously disturbed Dita's sense of smell.
"What shadow have you encountered before, my grandson?
Suddenly Dita was surprised and turned his head suddenly, "Kanjeng Nyai?"
He clenched his hands as if he was paying homage to his ancestors. Only then did he start saying that to her.
"Yes, several times I have seen the figure come when I was about to undergo the ritual of the first night."
Ancestor Dita turned around and looked intensely at him. As if he wanted to say something to make Dita wiser after this.
"This figure does peek at this house often, Nduk."
The words from his ancestors so surprised Dita. How could the figure dare to act determinedly towards him. Though clearly Dita has never mentioned it at all.
"What are you doing, Kanjeng Nyai?"
He did not answer, but Dita asked again.
"Did Kanjeng Nyai know who he really was?"
Kanjeng Nyai.
"I don't know who this figure really is and what his purpose is, which I know he's a delivery."
"Delivery?" dita's forehead wrinkled.
"Yes, he approached you not because of his will, but someone made a pact with him. As long as the bond that tells her not to let you go, then she will continue to follow you."
"Ha-ah, who? Why is there such an evil person to me, Kanjeng Nyai?" tanya Dita bowed listlessly.
Given the many tests he was going through, Dita could not think calmly. However, the more surprising thing was when Kanjeng Nyai suddenly just jumped up high and attacked the shadow.
Though there are still many questions that Dita wants to say to her ancestors. The longer they watched their fight, the more frightened Dita became. Afraid of being able to make people around him disturbed and also accused himself of being a pesky carrier.
"Errhghhh!" there was a loud roar from the shadow.
It turned out that the power of Kanjeng Nyai was able to paralyze the shadow. Now he was even moving as fast as lightning and was already standing before the shadow that was roaring in pain.
"Show me your form!" gertak Kanjeng Nyai on the creature who was looking down.
Instead of showing his face he attacked Kanjeng Nyai. Then a moment later he fled because he felt he would not be able to win from Kanjeng Nyai.
Dita could not help anything in this, she could only duck then a moment later Kanjeng Nyai was already nearby.
"There's someone protecting that thing, Nduk."
"Who, Nyi?"
"I don't know, as long as we can't knock out the creature I won't be able to know its Master."
"But from the smell it is a kind of genderuwo," he explained later.
For a moment the fur I sat Dita bristled because she was afraid of the figure. Imagining the creature often being around him made him shudder in horror.
"So who's been killing all my husbands?"
"It's possible, I don't dare say it if it hasn't been proven yet, we can only expect it for a while."
"Yes, Kanjeng Nyai."
"Here you go, it's late at night, soon I'll sing a Javanese song to accompany your sleep."
"really?"
Kanjeng Nyai smiled then nodded.
"Of course I also came to take care of you, you don't have to worry, sleep!"
Dita nodded happily, then a moment later laid her body on the bed. Dita's bedroom window door suddenly closed perfectly as the sound of Javanese song that flowed beautifully. Cradling every exhausted creature in order to fall asleep in the cradle of dreams.
Suddenly, Kanjeng Nyai's body released a very sharp smell of jasmine, then a moment later appeared white smoke that clumped. In just an instant, the figure of Kanjeng Nyai disappeared shortly after Dita fell asleep in her beautiful dreams.
Next day.
The sound of roosters crowing muffled hints when it is morning. The sun on the east end began to show its beauty.
Just like the days that followed, Dita had already woken up from her sleep. Do not forget before taking a shower, Dita will tidy up her bed and room clothes. A moment later he immediately approached his laptop which he had not used for a long time.
Sometimes he looks at the circumstances of the people around him to find out the latest news from them. We looked at the Instagram account he had created, then saw one by one the friendship accounts that sent him.
One name that disturbs him is Danuarta. He immediately clicked on the account to see who he was? Whether the person he has ever known or just sending a friendship.
"Mas Danu?"
"Eight weeks ago? That means when he just left here, and he knew I had an account with IG?"
However, it turns out that Danu has not made any posts since. He only made two posts there. Dita threw her breath away.
"There's nothing I can get here?"
But he opened his account, it turned out he was worse. Dita only ever posted a post when she took a picture in the tea plantation area at dusk.
"If I add information here, will he contact me?" ask Dita to herself.
However, Dita's hands were as if someone was telling her to. He immediately added some information about himself there. Then a smile followed.
"I must rise, I know the world is so vast. If this area can't accept me, I can go out of town."
